Questions? We Have Answers
Does my dancer need any experience?
Not at all. We have beginner friendly classes in every style, and Intro to Dance is a great first step for our youngest dancers. Our teachers meet every dancer where they are.
What ages do you teach?
We teach dancers of all ages, from little ones taking their very first class to teens and beyond. Each class has its own age range, so check the class schedule or ask us and we will point you to the right fit.
What should my dancer wear?
Comfortable clothes they can move in, with hair pulled back. Ballet dancers usually wear a leotard, tights and ballet shoes, tap needs tap shoes, jazz needs jazz shoes, and hip-hop works best with clean sneakers. If you are not sure, wear what you have for the first class and we will help with the rest.
